Resolving - The messaging interface has returned... Outlook Error
Microsoft Outlook is a popular and widely used email client, which is a
part of Microsoft Office Suite of Products. It stores all your critical
emails and other information in a single file, known as PST (Personal
Storage Table) file. Under some circumstances, the PST file of your
Microsoft Outlook application gets damaged and you can not access
stored data from it. Corruption is indicated by a number of symptoms
and error messages. In the event of PST corruption, you need to repair
and restore the damaged file using PST Recovery Software to extract inaccessible information from the file.

“The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.”
